Take Me As I Am

by Kirsten Adamson

about

After releasing award-winning album ‘Landing Place’ in January this year Adamson shows another side to her Americana style. ‘Take Me As I Am’ a song Adamson says is about “overthinking” opens with awash of dreamy guitars and vocals and builds into a cosmic soundscape of strings, layered vocals and Jon Mackenzie’s ethereal lead guitar.

It was co-produced by Bob Heatlie Jr (son of legendary songwriter Bob Heatlie Sr - ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’) with Adamson and recorded at Heatlie’s studio Colorsound in the heart of Edinburgh.

The song is accompanied by a video that finds Adamson transported back to the 80’s in a ‘Star Test’ style game show where they ask viewers if she does indeed have “too many feelings?”.

lyrics

Would you take me as I am
Take me as I am with all of these feelings
Would you give a damn
Come on and take me as I am

I cast the shadow
You shine the light
We talk in silence
Into the night

Would you take me as I am
take me as I am with all of these feelings
Would you give a damn
Come on and take me as I am

You lift my spirit
I hold on tight
We ride this madness
Don’t fear the flight

Would you take me as I am
take me as I am with all of these feelings
Would you give a damn
Come on and take me as I am

I get defensive
I act too proud
I’ll stop pretending
If you say out loud

That you'll take me as I am
Take me as I am with all these feelings
You don’t give a damn
Yeah you'll take me as I am

Would you take me as I am
take me as I am with all of these feelings
Would you give a damn
Come on and take me as I am
